"An Ethereum based on Ocaml" - that has to be a joke. 200 000 000 just because they use Ocaml?

Afaik Ethereum encouraged independent implementations of their PROTOCOL in different languages, also as a way to discover flaws in the protocol.

Ocaml as a selling point just sounds like an appeal to Noobs. Reading that was one of the reasons I decided to pass on the Tezos ICO.

Language security is a much bigger deal than anyone ever assumed and the DAO proved that. Just ask Vitalik.
